Usage

You can enable any web control that fire a PostBack to use Folks. Basically, it's possible to use Folks in three different ways:

Adding the REL attribute

Just add the rel attribute to the control. It's value must be folks as shown below:

<asp:Button id="myButton" runat="server" rel="folks" OnClick="myButton_Click" />

Inside a FolksContainer

To partial rendering or enable a group of controls you must use the FolksContainer. It capture its child controls events and post it through Folks. To enable a group of controls with FolksContainer, just add these controls as children of FolksContainer like in Panel control.

<folks:FolksContainer ID="FolksContainer1" runat="server">
	<table border="0">
		<tr>
			<td>
				<asp:RadioButtonList ID="RadioButtonList1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True"
					OnSelectedIndexChanged="sampleRadioButtonList_SelectedIndexChanged" >
					<asp:ListItem Value="1">South America</asp:ListItem>
					<asp:ListItem Value="2">North America</asp:ListItem>
				</asp:RadioButtonList>
			</td>
			<td>
				<asp:ListBox ID="ListBox1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" OnSelectedIndexChanged="sampleListBox_SelectedIndexChanged">
					<asp:ListItem Value="1">Brazil</asp:ListItem>
					<asp:ListItem Value="2">United States</asp:ListItem>
				</asp:ListBox>
			</td>
		</tr>
	</table>
</folks:FolksContainer>

UPDATED WIKI: Configuration

edurdias — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 22:49:04 GMT

Configuration

Normally, It isn't necessary any configuration to integrate Folks with a web application. But, for advanced features and other customizations you can configure it. The basic configuration scenarios are:

Control Registration - Register Folks in Web.config instead of every Page.
ViewState Optimization - To not send the ViewState through Folks' requests.

Control Registration

To register Folks in Web.config you can just add the code below inside pages' controls element.

<add tagPrefix="folks" assembly="Folks" namespace="Folks.UI" />

Example

<pages autoEventWireup="false" enableViewStateMac="false"  >
	<controls>
		<add tagPrefix="folks" assembly="Folks" namespace="Folks.UI" />
	</controls>
</pages>

ViewState Optimization

To use the FolksManager's OptimizeViewState property you need to configure a Adapter for the Page type. To do this, create a .browser file in App_Browsers ASP.NET folder and add the code below:

<browsers>
	<browser refID="Default">
		<controlAdapters>
			<adapter controlType="System.Web.UI.Page"
                     adapterType="Folks.UI.Adapters.FolksPageAdapter, Folks" />
		</controlAdapters>
    </browser>
</browsers>
